There are so many vintage trends which are hot this year from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1980’s. One of those trends includes the geometric look. Geometric patterns and prints have been associated with the Art Deco look, the Mod trend and the New Wave movement. All of these trends have included some form of geometry within their looks which are hot for spring 2013.

One of the easiest ways to wear the geometry trend is by wearing jewelry. Twisted Silver has designed a beautiful, geometric, Art Deco inspired collection for spring which works perfectly with the geometric trend; as well as many others!

The new “Stardust” collection from Twisted Silver features geometric diamonds linked together which create a three-dimensional look that easily works with spring 2013’s hottest trends. This geometric collection looks amazing with spring 2013’s Mod trend, color blocking, bright colors and prints. In fact, the “Stardust” collection looks amazing with every print a Fashionista can think of! Love that!

The “Stardust” collection includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings. The bracelet and necklace can be worn apart or linked together to create one long necklace. Worn linked together, the necklace and bracelet look amazing with professional attire at the office. For an evening look, the bracelet and necklace look dramatic when worn apart to create an edgy, sassy look. Day-into-evening, fabulous!

The “Stardust” bracelet also looks amazing stacked together with other bracelets for casual ensembles. The earrings are dramatic enough to wear at night while being quiet enough to pass for the office during the day. Love it!

The “Stardust” collection from Twisted Silver can be found online at Twisted-Silver.com and is priced from $30-$60. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Laura Mercier spring 2013 lipstick review

 in Beauty  tagged laura mercier / lipstick / reviews / spring 2013 by

Lipstick for spring 2013 is going in two different directions; pale or bright. Pale lipstick works perfectly with the season’s hot “Mod” trend and also blends easily with spring’s colorful eye shadow trend. Pale lipstick is a fabulous way to keep your lipstick from competing with your blue or green eye shadow!

The bright lipstick trend is on the other side of the spring 2013 beauty spectrum. Bright lips work perfectly with light and neutral eye shadow; a huge trend when wearing prints or a neutral color palette this season.

Laura Mercier sent us two lipsticks for spring 2013 to test out; “60’s Pink” and “Girly.” Both lipsticks are light pink and work perfectly with the Mod trend. Love them!

“60’s Pink” is a pale pink hue which blends easily with colorful eye shadow. The shade also works with spring 2013’s bright color palettes, neon hues and vivid pastels. Love it!

“Girly” is a slightly darker pink than “60’s Pink.” “Girly” also works well with colorful eye shadow, but since the pink is slightly darker than “60’s Pink,” “Girly” can easily be worn with neutral eye shadow as well as a natural face.

Laura Mercier lipsticks are nourishing and do not dry out the lips. I wore “60’s Pink” and “Girly” on two different days for a full day. The lipsticks did not dry out my lips and kept their color for several hours. I rate Laura Mercier’s lipsticks five out of five stars!

I highly recommend “60’s Pink for spring/summer 2013; especially if you plan to wear bright hues, color blocking and/or the Mod trend. “Girly” is a fabulous, classic light pink hue which is a great staple to have in your lipstick collection for any season.
